Biology Major, BS

Five from

Four must have a laboratory component (CHEM 383L  fulfills the laboratory component for CHEM 324 ). Only one from BIOL 385 , BIOL 390 , or BIOL 399  may be used to satisfy the requirements for the Biology major.

Students planning to pursue graduate training are strongly encouraged to choose BIOL 385  or BIOL 399  to fulfill one of their upper-level biology requirements.
